Elvis Presley Hard Knocks Lyrics

Hard Knocks Lyrics

(Words & music by J. Byers)
Some kids born with a silver spoon
I guess that I was born a little too soon
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I`m telling you, I said you`d better beware
`Cause I`ve had my share 
Some kids born as rich as a king
But I was born without a doggone thing
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I`m telling you, I said you`d better beware
`Cause I`ve had my share 
I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
I`ve heard that lonesome whistle blow
From New York City down to Mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I`m telling you, I said you`d better beware
`Cause I`ve had my share 
I walked a million miles I bet
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
I`ve heard that lonesome whistle blow
From New York City down to Mexico
Some kids born fancy free
Nobody never gave nothing to me but
Hard knocks, all I ever knew was hard knocks
And I`m telling you, I said you`d better beware
`Cause I`ve had my share
I said you`d better beware
`Cause I`ve had my share
I said you`d better beware
`Cause I`ve had my share of hard knocks
